Qingtian was originally in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant with Old Lady Ye and others.
Old Mrs. Ye was afraid that she would be bored, so she brought her a jigsaw puzzle for her to play with.
But the adults were busy entertaining guests and chatting with them, so Qingtian was really bored and slipped out quietly, wanting to go to the kitchen to find Mrs. Ye.
I didn't expect to see this scene as soon as I came out of the back door of the restaurant.
Qingtian had never seen the Princess of Rui before, but he recognized the clothes she was wearing at a glance. It was the one that Ye Ersao had just made a while ago.
At first glance, it's exactly the same as what Qingtian is wearing today.
Although Qingtian didn't know why Princess Rui was lying motionless as if she was asleep, he immediately realized something was wrong when he saw someone trying to drag her into a tattered carriage.
She immediately yelled at the top of her lungs: "Mother—Mother—"
This place is closer to the kitchen, so Qingtian’s first reaction was to call Mrs. Ye.
Unexpectedly, the criminal was not the only one she saw.
Just as Qingtian shouted, someone came up behind her, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in medicine, then picked her up and stuffed her into the carriage.
The man who had just stuffed Princess Rui into the car frowned when he saw this, but he also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he called his companions to get in the car quickly, then cracked the whip and drove towards the nearest city gate.
Mrs. Ye, who was cooking in the kitchen, suddenly felt a shock in her heart. She frowned and asked Mrs. Ye San beside her: "Why do I seem to hear Qingtian calling for his mother?"
The kitchen was bustling with activity and the noise was very noisy.
If Third Sister Ye hadn't been standing next to First Sister Ye, she wouldn't have been able to hear her speak at all.
Mrs. Ye was so busy that she didn't even bother to raise her head. She said, "Really? I didn't hear anything!"
"Isn't Qingtian on the second floor with Mom?"
Mrs. Ye also knew that Qingtian should be with Old Lady Ye at this time, but she stirred the food in the pot a few times, asked Mrs. Ye San to serve the food on a plate, and then she quickly walked to the door and looked into the yard.
The backyard of the restaurant was empty, with only a few carriages parked there.
"Sunny?" Sister Ye called out, but no one answered. She then turned back and said, "It seems I heard wrongly."
After Mrs. Ye put the dishes on a plate and handed it to the waiter, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you've missed Qingtian so much after not seeing him for just a short while that you've even started to hear voices.
"Our kitchen is so noisy, even if Qingtian really calls you in the backyard, you won't be able to hear it."
"That's right!" Mrs. Ye smiled, and the discomfort in her heart just now disappeared. She turned around and immediately started to prepare the next dish.
The two men who had abducted Princess Rui and Qingtian had already arrived at the west city gate in their carriage.
The soldiers at the city gate had been bribed by them long ago and let the carriage pass without even checking it.
After leaving the city, the carriage headed west, going further and further away, and soon there were no people around.
The road outside the city was not as smooth as the one inside, and the carriage was driving very fast, so it was shaking violently.
When Qingtian was knocked unconscious just now, the man's handkerchief was crooked and did not cover her nose, so she only inhaled a small amount of the drug and quickly woke up due to the violent shaking of the carriage.
Before she could figure out what was happening, she suddenly heard a conversation between two people sitting outside.
"Our mission is to capture Princess Rui. Why did you bring a child up here?"
"She saw you arresting someone. If I don't bring her up here, am I going to wait for her to call for help?"
"Why don't you just kill her? It's not enough trouble to take care of a child!"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear her calling for her mother just now? This little brat must be the daughter of Prince Rui and Princess Rui."
"Is this true? Why do I remember that Prince Rui and Princess Rui didn't have any children at all?"
"No way, people say Prince Rui has no son, not that he has no children.
"Don't you think about the identity of Prince Rui? He is the emperor's younger brother.
"His existence itself is a great threat to the throne.
"If he had another son, would the emperor still be able to sleep at night?
"So I think Prince Rui and his wife are very smart. Having a daughter to take care of them is enough for them.
"Since you don't want to covet the throne, there's no need to give birth to a son.
"As for not publicizing it, isn't it for safety reasons?"
"Is this true? Is this true?" The other person was a little confused by what he said and began to wonder if he had remembered it wrong.
"Of course it's true!" Seeing that his companion was convinced by his persuasion, the man became more excited and said, "Even if you don't know these, you still have eyes to see, right?
"Don't you see that this little girl is wearing the same clothes as Princess Rui, and they even look like they were cut from the same mold.
"And she called out for her mother as soon as she came out of the restaurant. I heard it clearly."
After these words were spoken, those who had previously expressed doubts were completely speechless.
Because apart from anything else, just the fact that they wear the same clothes and look so similar seems to be enough to confirm the mother-daughter relationship between the two.
"That's good now. We have two bargaining chips in our hands. Prince Rui will be cautious and will definitely meet our demands."
Qingtian didn't dare to say anything in the car, but secretly kept in mind what the two people said.
After the two people outside stopped talking, Qingtian looked at Princess Rui.
She was still sleeping soundly, so she could not be relied upon at this moment.
Qingtian could only think about how to leave some clues, otherwise the world was so big out there that his family wouldn’t know where to look for him if they wanted to.
